SIDE STEPPER (10) is a 10-start maiden who improved last time when second in a steeplechase (5040m) at Hereford. Best efforts measure up and is expected to prove hard to beat. MCGREGORS CHARGE (8) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (4600m) at Taunton, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Ben Godfrey. Before that first-up run he made the move to the Ella Pickard yard. Can feature again after that bright return. KAPAMAZOV (5) did a good job to clock-in second two back in a steeplechase (4730m) at Huntingdon then ran a nice race last time found one better in a steeplechase (4700m) at Huntingdon 45 days ago, 20 lengths behind the winner. Hard to knock the recent efforts. GIVEUPYERAULDSINS (1) was pulled up in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh two starts back. Made amends last time when she found one better, beaten 3 lengths, in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newcastle. Hard to fault on that most recent effort.
